We hear by a courier from Albany, that Sir William Johnson
sent out 11 Mohawks in order to take a prisoner, to gain
intellinence, which was effected by them 8 leagues above
Montreal, and whom they brought to Sir William; after he
had examined him, the Indians insisted on his being
delivered back to them, that they might kill him, but a
chief of the Mohawks being present, forbid his being killed;
they then tied him up, whipped him severely, had an Indian
Dance round him, and then delivered him up again to Sir
William, for conveyance to New-York. He assumes the
character of being the Lieutenant-Governor of Montreal's
son; . . .
